Level 5 Diploma for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People's Services (England) 

The 80-credit Pearson Edexcel Level 5 Diploma for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People's Services (England) (QAN 600/0744/8) has now expired.

It is replaced by a 90-credit qualification: Pearson Edexcel Level 5 Diploma for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People's Services (England) (QAN 601/4438/5). This new qualification was developed under instruction from the National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) and the Sector Skills Council, Skills for Care, as a result of the new Higher Apprenticeship SASE Framework requirement that learners must complete a 90-credit qualification. 

The only change from the expired 80-credit qualification is that the following unit is now mandatory - Undertake a Research Project within Services for Health and Social Care or Children and Young People.
